Cisco just does not have an offering in this product space anymore. We 
used to buy a ton of Catalyst 2360 switches here but now that they are 
discontinued, we've also moved to the J EX3300 and have been quite happy 
with it. No interop problems with our Nexus switches one layer up. Wish 
Cisco would re-introduce a competitive product in this segment.

Best,
